corrections.... there are a FEW different companies that will flash the ECU...EX: BrenTune and Alpha Racing.. and sending in the ECU is a common thing amongst sport bikes... or you can get a flash done at most motorcycle shops that have dynos... and you can get a 520 kit for the Forged Wheels....
Alpha was an example there are many more companies.. and Alpha is like the "premium" flash aimed towards racing on the tracks. I like Brentune but if I dedicated my s1000rr to the track I would use alpha racing for their parts and services
This is pretty common place among any brand make these days. BMW just make its more pronounced in terms of saying if you modify it and something factory breaks because of your mods, you eat it. Besides, BMW's are already stupid fast and there isn't many places to let one rip beside the race track. I own a K1300s Anniversary Edition and other than removing the baffle to make it bark more, it's all stock. Stay with your Japanese if you like mods.
when your bmw gets hot after a quick run or 3 ... when you pull over to rest up keep your bike idling too cool radiator down or a lot of antifreeze will boil over & out cuz your engine can’t cool off if motor is off...unless park for the night . If bike is idling your fans will cool down antifreeze fluid as fluid keeps flowing thru cooling system . And always - always - always pre-trip and post your cycles , you’ll be surprised what you may find at the start or end of riding , I was !
Another mod would be timing chain tensioner, yeah that bolt for the headers was a bitch when doing the switch to full system. The internal mad for race is a great mapping even with no mods to the bike. You might wanna change the title to the years or the year you have to let others know as to what they are look at.
it's got cruise control heated grip in all of the nannies in the world that you could want for commuter bike these bikes are amazing being over and the tuck position for a long time can get a little much but I would do about a 160 miles on it no problem
You don't buy an S1000RR to flash it...Buy something that isn't as refined if you are more interested in modding things and customizing. There are so many CPU and riding options. Why on earth would you wanna do any of that.
Mine (2016) runs peachy and I live not too far away from Hell, sorry, Sacramento where it gets as hot as hell. All modern 1000cc supersports bikes run hot. You can't produce around 200hp from a 1 liter engine and have it run cool. If your bike is running rough or overly hot then there's something else going on.
@@Swampster70 ecu flahses don’t magically make bikes run cooler either lol they turn the fan on earlier that’s about it .. but yeah this entire video i realized this guy has no idea what he’s talking about lmao
@@MADLITS1K I know that - which is why I said what I did 3 years ago. A stock S1000RR will run fine on 122F days - I know that because I've ridden in those temps. When you live in the Sacramento Valley, 100+F days are common during summer. I've ridden over Ebbetts Pass (west side from Markleeville) on a 105F day - the climb starts at 5,500ft and tops out at 8,700ft and there's lots of technical switchbacks with roads so narrow there are no center markings. Max gradients are over 15% and that's after 3 hours of riding to get there. My bike runs fine even in those very steep, 1st and 2nd gear roads where anything over 70mph is suicidal. There's not much airflow to keep the bike cool. When it gets hot up there it's just like you're standing over an oven door when you're opening it. When I get down to Hermitt's Valley I have to get off before my right ankle cooks itself inside my Alpinestars' boot. The bike at this point runs fine - my right ankle is cooked just short of needing some BBQ sauce. That said, on my bicycle I do descend the same roads in the other direction at 60mph in lycra ;) I know those roads well. If there is a God, Hwy 4 up there is his highway.
Elise is the rider running 8.5 1/4 time not me I'm around 9.5 but gaining fast foor a electric fork and rear shock if u guys r looking for a dealer look the BMW dealer in kc mo
The real question is why would you want to do a 520 conversion? You 'gain' about 1hp for a chain that isn't as resistant to dirt and gunk. That 1hp gain is for a clean chain and when I say clean, I'm talking about the internals, not the outside part that's easy to clean with a cleaner. Once the rollers on a chain get dirty then you lose more than you ever gained with the 520 and cleaning the inside of a chain isn't something you can do with just a spray. Changing chains on a bike that almost has 200hp to try and gain 1 hp is a bit like putting on lower gearing when you don't red line the bike whenever you ride it. It's just silly and a waste of cash for performance but if you want to do it to get a different look, then fine I guess. If you can ride the bike like Troy Corser when he's on a mission, then by all means try and eek that 1/10th of a second, otherwise, keep the bike stock and run it over 12,000rpm at full throttle more often. The stock regina zrp 525 chain is more than good enough.
How does the throttle by wire compair to the others, for example a zx-10r? That's probably the biggest complaint I've heard come from the newest S1000's.
Daniel its amazing the how good it is I love mine its a 2017 w everything u can get has brocks slipper elimanator kit and spring kit and it's steerable w 420ft pounds of pressure on pressure plate
The drive by wire throttles were a bit of a pain on the older models upto 2014 and the HP4's that were around at that time. The 2015+ models, especially in Race or Slick/User mode, ride pretty much just like an old school throttle with a cable. Very light and easy to ride. Even in the other modes, the throttle is always crisp and responsive.
Yes first gens is amazing and priced good and if you're looking to mod just bc of how long it's been out for you're not going to pay a lot of money to mod them and the BMW motors are bulletproof theres videos up of people running them for miles with no oil with out a problem so if it like that without oil regular maintenance should keep it around for a long time
Ok been back from Tulsa last weekend should have tons of video but I never said I ran 8.5 but Elyes has and several others and it's a shinko hook up tire I'll find some videos look up Brocks racing channel
Pritam Ghosh its a 16 and the handel bars did vibrate when you are under on 4000 RPMs but I just put a weighted bar ends on them and the vibration from the actual engine isn't really too bad
Get the Premium package and love life in Rain Mode and enjoy the clutchless shifting with the quickshifter - there'll be enough going on when you first start that not having to faff around with the clutch/throttle/gears and brakes when slowing to a stop will allow you to concentrate on 'real world issues' like not falling off or crashing into things. Rain Mode also makes it pretty much impossible to brake to hard and get the back wheel off the ground and limits the acceleration in the first couple of gears to reduce the "whooooooooooooaaaaaa fffffffff****************kkkkkkkkk" factor the first time you accidentally twist the throttle too hard. If you're new to riding, keep it in Rain Mode and keep the RPM's under 7,000 for a long time. Trust me, even if you own a Vette or something with four wheels that fairly quick, you'll be more than surprised at how fast the bike accelerates even in the 'slowest mode.' I've been riding since about the time when Moses parted the waters and I pop the bike in Rain Mode for commuting on the freeway. Find a good 2+ day course and go learn the basics. Make sure the course includes learning how to countersteer. Buy your gear (helmet, boots, jacket, gloves) or at least factor in the cost, before buying a bike, no matter what that bike is. You can fall off a little 300cc sports bike and really cause some serious injuries just riding around town.
Please do NOT get an S1000RR for your first bike. This is not a bike for beginners, start off on a smaller bike first do not be stupid. It's literally like passing your driving test and the first vehicle you get is the fastest Ferrari available... It's going to end very quickly and very badly.
From what I've gathered, it's a great bike.............. I just don't like BMW. Are parts and services expensive like their effin' cars? $500 for an oil change............GTFO BMW!
It's 600 for a full service and 99% of the time it's just and oil change 😶😶 and a nothing bulk check some parts are expensive but other ones aren't too bad
So you speedo will show you reclining at 20k but that's where it tops out on the speedo the Moto can spin to 21or 23k every time that happened the ecm counts it
i wish they would hurry up with a new model it has been so damn long waiting :( i've waited 7 years now for a new shape :( and i'm not getting any younger - by the time they bring a new shape out i'm going to be an old man :(
Correction the Yamaha r1 is the hottest mf to ride 😂 shit like a dam oven on your nut sack iv rode majority of all bikes the r1 wins the heat challenge
stephenmwyatt2 I road my r1 for 5 hours straight besides filling up not the best bike to go on long rides but not horrible I ride on a daily long trips for work and back thru out the year long rides track etc ,
